Full Description
The site is shown as a clear plot on the Ordnance Survey 1 inch drawing of 1804, although this may be due to the scale of the map involved. [1] The Tithe Map for Lynton and Lynmouth depicts a pair of gate piers flanking a routeway that follows the Hoaroak Water at the point that it leaves the water course to head towards Combe Park. These are situated at SS 7354 4744. [2] The gate piers are no longer depicted on later maps to which the HER has access, although they may still have been extant. The routeway shown on the Tithe Map appears to still be in use. [3-5]
